Shun Classic Hollow-Ground 4" Santoku Knife

Combining the benefits of a chef's knife and cleaver, this hollow-ground santoku is indispensable for chopping, slicing and dicing. Oval indentations on the blade's sides reduce friction to produce clean, uniform cuts and minimize sticking.

VG-MAX “super steel” blades are clad on each side with 69 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.

The wide, angle-tipped blade combines the best features of a chef's knife and a cleaver.

Indentations along the blade reduce friction and keep slices from sticking.

Exceedingly sharp cutting edge is long lasting and easy to maintain.

Durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and has a D shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
